What’s interesting about these results is that they show the Radeon R290x performing faster than Titan in some cases, and if not, faster than the GeForce 780.

They also have some OEM pictures to share, showing us for the first time what the Radeon R290x may actually look like.

And here are some of the benchmarks, to take with a grain of salt, since we know nothing about the site they came from, or how trustworthy this whole thing is:

We’ll find out for sure when the card is officially launched on August 25th. If it holds up to proper testing, and is priced right, AMD may have a winner on their hands.
